Inadequate (revised)

[Rollingrrl]

I posted this a while back though I've edited it and revised. let me know what you think.
Inadequacy
sometimes I feel that
I can't ever measure up
to the line that you've set.
The world is placing bets
to whether I fail or succeed.
And it feels like I'm losing...
I'll never be as smart as you
but I can always wash our laundry.
I'll never be as tough as you
but I can always hold you while you cry.
I'll never be as quick as you
but I can remember your favorite songs.
I'll probably never make as much as you will
money wise I mean.
I'll keep our house so pretty and clean
and take care of our future children.
If I win that is and I feel like I'm losing
a battle that has already been fought.
I'll never be able to see things like you do
but I can talk about real issues too.
I don't think you want me to feel this way
I know you don't understand much of emotions.
Maybe I'm just not good enough for you,
I thought we were equals, a good match.
But in truth I feel inadequate to you.

That is really really good. Unfortunately I never got to see the first version so I cannot compare them. I love the last 3 lines. You should be very proud of yourself girl.
